The 20-year old, who is currently training with Scottish champions Celtic, has already been heavily linked with Reading but now the R’s have made a bid according to a source close to the potential deal.

“(Queens Park) Rangers have made a firm offer, no ifs or buts, and no trials. It’s a straight-out bid and they want him in now,” said the London source.

“It’s up to Tom, the Mariners and his management to assess whether it’s the right club for him but Harry Redknapp is keen and they are after a quick decision because they are looking to bring players in to help the club stay in the Premier League.”

It is also believed that Fulham and Club Brugge are also tracking the attacking midfielder.
